Okay. I'm fast forwarding most of it. And here is your spoiler alert, if you don't want to know who was eliminated. Or maybe you just don't care. :)
Fantasia needs to stick to musical theater, in my opinion.
Fast forwarded to the first result, and I have to say I'm slightly shocked that Casey is in the top 3. Another Vote for the Worst victory. I'm sure they are thrilled. Unfortunately, this means someone I like is going home.
Daughtry. I liked him. Glad he's found some success that really works for him.
Lee DeWyze is also in the top 3. Good. I like him. Further bummed that Michael or Crystal will be going home.
No group performance tonight! Nice.
Crystal is the final top 3 member. I like her, but it's lame that Michael is going home. Lame, lame, lame.
Should have been Crystal, Lee and Michael.

Testing...testing...
....is this thing on?
I am still here. First, let's address the blatant lack of American Idol posts this year.
I'm totally bored with it.
I've been thinking the last few days to try and figure out why. I think my boyfriend Harry Connick, Jr. hit it right on the head last week when he was mentoring - it doesn't occur to these contestants that they are singing lyrics that mean something. And they just don't have the performance skills to be interesting.
Maybe it's Adam Lambert's fault. I was so interested in watching him last season. Just to see what he would do. (And then he releases his album and starts performing and goes COMPLETELY over the top at the AMA's, and I haven't paid attention to him since.)
There's no one like Adam this year.
I had hope for a couple people, but...nope. I like Crystal a lot. I like Big Mike. Lee DeWyze has been the only surprise for me this season - I didn't have any idea who he was and didn't care a bit about him, but he's gotten better. Unfortunately, as individuals, they're just a bit boring. The fact that the duets were the best performances tonight says a lot.
Truly, the stars this year have been the mentors. Adam Lambert was great. Harry Connick, Jr. was completely amazing. I mean, he actually arranged the music for the contestants! And Jamie Foxx was fantastic tonight. The rumor mill has Jamie as a frontrunner to replace Simon next season. And it will take someone of that caliber, talent, and personality to replace Simon.
If you have time, the AI producers are actually running a survey where you can comment on the current season. Click here to take it.
On a positive TV note - I can't wait for SYTYCD (Mia is the new permanent judge with Nigel and Adam! There's only a top 10 - not a top 20! The top 10 are dancing with all-stars from past seasons!) Lost is great this season, 24 is awesome, and Glee is fabulous. (Thanks to Hulu, I can actually keep up a bit while I edit photos.)

Best line from Glee so far tonight:
Puck: I feel like that guy that lost all his hair and lost all his power.
Santana: Sampson?
Puck: Agassi.
Lamest moment from Glee so far tonight:
When I realized they named Rachel's boyfriend Jesse just so Finn could sing "Jesse's Girl" at some point this season. It was a great performance, and Finn rocked the drums, but a bit corny.
But since the corny song was immediately followed by the AWESOME rendition of "The Lady is a Tramp" by Puck and Mercedes, I'm good.
